I picked up bear spray at the outdoors store in Wolfeboro, and it came with small holster I can clip onto the back of my belt. The guy in the store said he's sold a lot this year

What's the range of the spray? How far away can a bear smell those honey and peanut energy bars they sell next to the check out? What else do hikers carry that attracts bears? Like when you o berrying?
